Hopefully you'll be reading this as I drive down state with my family to stay with my grandparents for the weekend, but with Blogspot's auto post not working this might not be up till I get a chance to open my laptop and push "publish" once I get there. Boo!

Anyway, my cousin and I have a fun time planned for this weekend. We have lots of fun errands to run (fabric store, outfit photos, etc), a frozen yogurt date, a dinner date, and a photo shoot planned. I can't wait! Hope your weekend is as nice!

These photos from Tieka of Selective Potential. That dress! Those shoes! That location! I die. <3

This video. It was so eye opening to watch, because it was like he was describing my blogging journey. For so long I knew what good posts looked like/read like, but everything I posted on here was just so inferior. It's only been that past few months that I've been actually really happy with my posts and template.

This post on being yourself from Meg of Bow Ties are Cool.

This first chapter teaser of the book Haphazardly Implausible by Miss Jack. Not gonna lie. I had way too much fun formatting that document for Jack.

Here we are again: my weekly collection of things I love. I'll have to admit I had a hard time coming up with five things this week as I haven't been on the computer much. I did several photo shoots, and shot a couple videos this week besides working on a recipe post for later. But now it's time to settle back into the usual grind of commenting, editing photos and videos and writings posts. But until then here are things I'm loving this week:

I love the fact that Molly is making me a Route 66 dress for an early graduation gift. ♥

Re-reading this book for the fifth time and listening to the soundtrack. ♥

This outfit of Elizabeth's. Love the bright red, faux leather, studded jacket!

This lovely wedding dress. I want a 50's inspired wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline and sheer top when I get married.

This lovely craft from Emma and Elsie. It's no secret that I have an affinity for dear, and this is just such a perfect rustic + feminine pairing!

♥ Jack's newly finished book. I cried at the end. One of the best books I've ever read. The characters were so much fun, and the story so engaging! You can read the first chapter over here if you're interested - which you should be.

♥ The fact that these lovely sandals are on their way to my house (I can't wait to wear them with my new Route 66 dress!), and that I got $5 off them with the code "oneyear."

♥ Three blogs I am loving right now: one two and three.

♥ Listening to all my "summer music" which includes: Josh Groban, Owl City, Blackmore's Night, Enya, Celtic Woman, the Boatrights, and more!

♥ The fact that I won this awesome denim jacket to replace the one I lost last year (blasted!). And it was my first ever Ebay bid, too! That's right, I am officially a legal adult now. * applause*

♥ The fact that in just nine weeks I will get to spend two weeks here. You have no idea how excited I am to see my best friends again!

Here is my second installment of Friday Favorites, and I have to say - I'm psyched! I have some really lovely things to share with you all! So without further ado:

This lovely woodburn. I love the quote (such a good life philosophy!) and the rough log look is so cool! Reminds me of the summers I spent on my aunt and uncle's ranch in Missouri.

Who could help but love this adorable mustache man!? Too cute!

This new Avengers trailer. Seriously, am I the only one super-duper-uber excited for the new Avengers movie!? I never would have expected me to be a super-hero gal, but it's just so good! (p.s I'm an Iron Man girl. Go Tony Stark!)

This super adorable faux-sweater. 

This letter on Tumblr (yes, I am one of the Snape + Lily shippers). I also got a chuckle out of this one. So true... And since when did I become a Harry Potter nerd!? To make up for it here is a link to a Lord of the Rings themed Tumblr blog (see, I am still a Ringer! I swear!)

This outfit of Kaelah Bee's. I love the color combo and the stripes + floral pairing is just perfect! ♥

Friday Favorites

I thought I might try doing a Favorite Things Friday series again, since I've been really loving Elycia, Mandy, and Kaelah's favorite things posts. Let me know what you think. ;)

  This picture. Jack showed me it several months ago, but I still laugh every time I see it. Poor John. 

 This necklace. It's the first time I've found one these heart necklace that's for Colorado. I guess since Colorado is sort of a boring shape it's not done much. Or maybe the necklace makers think no one likes it. Either way, I want one, because I love Colorado. ♥

Do I really need to explain this? It's awesome.

Kate's lovely new print.

This pair of shoes. Trouble is, I have no idea what I'd wear them with!
